An intoxicated teenager stole a 14-tonne fire engine and activated the emergency lights before he eventually being pulled over in Sydney's Blue Mountains.
Police alleged the 16-year-old boy broke into a fire station at Lithgow and stole an Isuzu fire truck about 11.45pm (AEST) on Friday.
He was pulled over a short time later by police and was breath tested, returning a positive reading of 0.045.
The teenager was issued a court attendance notice for novice range drink driving and other traffic matters.
He will be dealt with under the Young Offenders Act for the offences relating to breaking into the fire station and stealing the fire truck.
LOL @ stealing a fire truck. "Look at me mum I'm a fireman"You would think he would've stolen something less noticeable.
lol he even got to put the lights on. may have been a childhood dream
When I read these stories it makes me realise how boring I was at 16.
HAHA funny as. Only thing is, I'm glad they didn't have an accident, a 14 tonne truck can do serious damage.

I was sitting in a brand new fire truck that started smoking when a 2 way radio overheated and set the roof lining alight because the cooling fan wasn't plugged in!!
LOL at his breath test, 0.045. I'd say it wasn;t really that he was drunk, moreso an idiot :|
LOL, way to report acurately.
